From Pony To Stallion: 3 Custom Restorations To Transform Your Classic Mustang

Many restorations are original, but if you want to do something different, mustangs are great cars to do modifications to. With the Ford Mustang, you have the perfect platform to start with to put modern equipment in. You may want to do an engine swap for the performance, or use a body kit for a modern appearance upgrade. Here are some custom restoration ideas to transform your pony into a stallion:

1. Modern Body Kits for Classic Restoration Mods

If you are looking for a complete customization, then you will also want to change the appearance of the bodywork. Today, there are many aftermarket body kits that bolt up to classic Mustangs and give them more of a modern look. These kits can include roll pans to replace bumpers, as well as front spoilers to improve handling. To take some of the weight off, you can also install carbon fiber body parts. Use lighter body parts anywhere where parts can easily be unbolted and replaced.

2. Complete Engine Swap with Modern EFI Motors

Today, cars have electric fuel injection systems (EFI). These systems give you control over the performance and fuel mixture. If you are planning on swapping the engine for your classic pony, an EFI engine swap will give you power and performance. With a new wiring harness, you will also have options for tuning your stallion to maximize power and fuel efficiency. If you want to have an efficient mustang that still has plenty of power, you may want to consider using a 6-cylinder engine for your project.

3. Modern Electronics and Displays for Tech in Your Classic Mustang

Other custom mods for your classic Mustang include the electronics in the interior. You may want to add features like GPS and digital dash displays. If you want to have modern electronics that still have the classic Mustang look, use aftermarket products that preserve the classic look and give you modern technology. There are complete wiring harness kits that make these upgrades easy to do. You will need to decide on a control box that has wiring connections for all the features you plan on adding to your Mustang. When doing these upgrades, make sure you label all your wires to make installation and repairs easier.

These are some ideas that will help transform your Mustang pony into a true stallion. If you need a car to start with, contact a dealer with Mustangs for sale to get what you need.
